On December 22, 2010, a snippet of the song was available for preview by Fearless Records. It premiered via MTV Buzzworthy on June 13, 2011, while being available for digital download the following day. Musically, "Blackout" is a dance-pop and electropop song that is reminiscent of pop music from the late 1980s. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, who commended its "catchiness" and "radio-friendly chorus". It has since become the duo's most successful single to date, reaching number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as the top 20 on the Pop Songs chart. The music video premiered via the duo's VEVO channel on September 20, 2011. An EP, Blackout: The Remixes EP, was released on September 27, 2011 exclusively via iTunes.
